McKenna told Action News after setting his sights on the plane, he purchased it from a group called Allied Fighters in California.

He said he was fortunate enough to pick up the plane and make it his own.

"This is a North American P-51 Mustang," said McKenna. "It was best known as being an iconic fighter during World War II, and especially known for escorting long range bombers. It is a fantastic airplane."

The plane will be on display July Fourth weekend at the show. McKenna will also perform a full aerobatic routine with the aircraft, hundreds of feet in the air.
